Herald Cabal

The Great Library of Aabahran is known by all to be one of the largest sources of knowledge in these lands. It contains written works spanning many years and many topics. The keepers of this Library, its curators if you will, are the Heralds. Schooled in the art of preserving knowledge, Heralds are tenacious in their search for new exciting and unexplored experiences.

Heralds are people of the world who live to not only seek out knowledge but to ensure its preservation. This is done in two ways. Firstly by being the writers of the land, recording new experiences in tomes, writing of the past and ultimately preserving the most important achievement of all. The written word. The second way in which Heralds preserve knowledge is through the teaching of others. History has shown that written works can be misplaced, lost or worst of all destroyed. Through the teaching of others, experiences can be passed down from generation to generation as a reserve for the written works.

So why is all of this important? Why would a Cabal wish to record the trials and tribulations of a land such as Aabahran, where people are on a constant path of progress and change? Could it be that both history and progress need not be mutually exclusive. In lands such as ours where the two coexist, communities of the land can bask in the benefits of both the past and present. Preservation of information makes sense on many levels, look at the benefits in terms of quality of life. A community's heritage is embodied in is historic events, people who can read about their past, or have stories told them by others, can gain a sense of pride and community identity. Not to mention the educational benefits that are associated with learning from the past victories and failures of others who may have followed your path.

The life and path of a Herald is not an easy life. It is a life of service to knowledge, service to others and for the most part a life of continuous learning. It requires firm commitment and dedication to both the written word and the teaching of that word. It is something that is earned not given, but most importantly it is something to be respected.
